Alan Howard

Son of a rubber planter, Alan’s schooling began on a beach. After a grinding spell in the English educational system, he tried several occupations before settling on the writing of novels.  He works in a shed at the end of his garden under an ancient apple-tree. For recreation he walks through the woodlands of Sussex and, when injury permits, plays fanatically bad real tennis
